While graduate entry is available for students who have achieved well (particularly students enrolled in the Bachelor of Medical Science at UNSW), UNSW offers competitive entry straight out of high school. Students learn both the knowledge and skills necessary to become registered medical practitioners. Subjects range from the theoretical, to practical learning styles, learning under trained professionals inside and outside of the classroom. These learning domains include: Beginnings, Growth and Development; Health Maintenance; Ageing and Endings; and Society and Health.

Students also develop the skills they need to become personable and professional practitioners of medicine. Students will often have the chance to apply their knowledge in professional environments, during training periods at clinical centres designated by UNSW. Part of the degree includes clinical placement to a rural location for a minimum of four weeks, under the care of medical practitioners. Clinical placements will take place in some of the following locations: St Vincent’s Hospital; St George Hospital; Kogarah; Randwick Campus Hospitals; South Western Sydney Clinical School; and Rural Clinical Schools (based in the Greater Murray and mid-north coast areas).
